Moons travel about planets. Planets circle suns. Suns move in relation to other suns and all of them spin within the galaxy. The galaxy itself is moving in relation to other galaxies and who it to say that the Universe itself is not moving in some vast unknown direction? —JARLES “FREE FALL” FERRIS, Philosophy and Relativity: A Survey of Ideas Korie finds Rogers in the shower room. Like all shower rooms, this one smells of stale sweat and steam. Casually, the first officer drops his kit and fresh uniform onto the dry end of the plastic bench. He pauses to watch as Rogers struggles vainly with his tunic. It is caught on the bulky plastifoam brace across his shoulders. “Want some help?” “Huh?” Rogers turns and notices Korie for the first time. “Oh, Mr. Korie, sir.” He straightens— “Relax. There are no regulations in the shower room.” Indicating the brace again, “Do you need help?” “Uh, thank you, sir, but I think I can manage.” He resumes struggling. Korie watches amused as the younger man tries to work his tunic over his head; he looks as if he is dislocating both of his arms in the process.
